according to legend, the goddess athena created the olive. the gods of olympus proclaimed that the city of athens would be named for the god who could invent the most valuable legacy for mortals. athena's olive, a symbol of peace and prosperity, beat out poseidon's offering of a horse, that symbolized the more war-like skills of strength and fortitude. as you travel the main road, you'll catch occasional glimpses of old venetian towers. these are remnants from the middle ages, when the powerful venetians established a foothold in greece, and went on to become the wealthiest traders in the mediterranean. the venetians ruled here for more than 3 centuries before being overthrown by the ottomans. the road winds to apiranthos, perhaps the most picturesque village on the island.

"mitte" means middle, and indeed it is the center of the city. but for 30 years, the berlin wall divided the mitte,
